BPD January E-newsletter!

This monthly update keeps you in tune with all of the events, activities and happenings in the Bloomingdale Park District. Our mission is to efficiently and economically provide recreation programs, facilities and open space designed to provide enjoyable leisure time experiences that benefit the community.

Start Earning Your Rec Rewards!

A new rewards program for frequent Park District users, Rec Rewards, is now incorporated into the registration system and requires virtually no effort by participants. Every enrollment in a participating program earns points and, ultimately, rewards!

"We feel this is a great way to reward our residents and frequent users," said Sandy Vangundy, director of recreation at the Park District and the creator of the program. "It's a completely no-hassle program and just another way we're trying to give back to the community that supports us."

Registration for all programs and classes is now open. Anyone placed on a wait list during open registration will be contacted to see if alternative arrangements can be made.
